that was election night. in december, the president said that spending is the problem, which is i believe why the credit rating industry came out the ratings a week ago and they said in the absence of a credible deficit reduction plan that the united states would be downgraded with regard to credit. in spite of the fact that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said that the greatest threat to our national security was our debt. democrats in the senate are now going to have to make a choice. do they agree with the president, that spending is not a problem, or did they agree with their constituents at home for focus on the fact that they are burdening our children and grandchildren with a mountain of debt, burying them under that mountain of debt. i just got back from wyoming where people continue to be very concerned and anxious about the debt for their kids and grandkids. the chance for freedom and opportunity is lost in as the debt continues to increase. this is an announcement that the obama campaign

there's lots of countries that have successful elections. we focus on those where there's a coup or other unsettling events, and we tend to not think about the places where there have been successful elections and good progress made. so all of that says to me that africa, while certainly the home of lots of challenges, is also the home of great opportunity and progress and hope. and i think that we should never forget about that as well. um, as i was mentioning to dr. scott, i've had in the almost two years i've been in command the opportunity to travel quite a bit in africa, and i've been now to 42 of the countries. it's been exciting and exhilarating, tiring at times, to be sure. it's a big place to move about. but one of the things i learned early on, a member of my staff who belongs to the u.s. foreign service gave me a list of african proverbs. he says, hey, you ought to think about these and what these men. and i found one that, to me, i think ideally captures what we at u.s. africom are trying to do. it says simply if you want to go f
